The panels are side by side, joined in the middle with a thin black line. The gold-colored background has a textured appearance with darker patches and lines throughout. Each panel features a long, narrow gray rectangle in the center, containing black Japanese calligraphy written in a flowing, abstract style. The calligraphy on the left and right panels are mirror images of each other. The background behind the artwork is black.
